Can't save sent email to Sent mailbox

[Gary Reimer]

Hello;

I've been trying to save a sent email to the Sent folder, but the EmailMoveCurrentMessage ( "Sent" ) step fails. The email is sent but is not moved to the Sent mailbox. I get a result of 0.

Here's my code:

EmailRegister( "xxxxxxxxx"; "me_customer ) and
EmailConnectSMTP( "mail.myserver.com"; "me@my_address.com"; "password" ) and
emailquicksend ( "me@my_address.com ; "[email protected]" ; "Hello" & Get ( CurrentTime ) ; "this is a test" ) and 
emailmovecurrentmessage ( "Sent" )

 

Thanks for any help available,

Gary

You will need to be connected to your inbound mail server when you make the call to EmailMoveCurrentMessage. So you could call EmailConnectIMAP after your call to EmailConnectSMTP.

Thanks for this Ben. That worked. I notice that the email in Sent shows up as unread. Is there a way to prevent that?

You should be able to do this by calling EmailReadMessages after you move the message, and pass in the flags "mailbox=Sent" ; "viewed=false" ; "readonly=false". This should mark any unread messages as viewed in the 'Sent' mailbox.

I am trying to do this same task.

Using the new Plugin script steps, I can only set two flags.  I am getting around that by doing it 'old school' and setting a variable to EmailReadMessages( "mailbox=Sent" ; "viewed=false" ; "readonly=false").  Is there a way to use the script step and do this?

Also;  this seems like it will not the right way to do it.  I really don't want to set ALL of the messages as read.  Only the one current message should be set to read.  Is there a way I can do this?

 

TIA

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Unfortunately since EmailReadMessages has a variable number of parameters, it can not be properly set up to be called as a script step (although you could use it if you only have two flags to set).  

To set the current message to "read" , remove the "readonly=false" parameter and add the function EmailMessageSetFlag inside your loop and pass in the parameter "viewed"
